May 16, 2024     Wing Mounting Brainstorm Session - (.5 hour) Category: Research

Spent some time measuring the depth of the hangar to see if I could put wings on by turning the assembly 90 degrees, it appears that I should have 6 inches to spare. Now figuring out how to build support structures to hold the wings at the proper height, with some adjustability. I have a few ideas so now I can see if my woodworking skills can do what my brain is thinking.

Not really sure how to proceed. Manual says in order to attach horizontals that the elevators have to be rigged and mounted, but in order to do that the horizontals have to already be installed, but cannot be unless the elevators are installed. Also, all of that cannot be done until control cables are attached but they cannot be attached because the tail is not attached to the fuselage and the manual clearly states that the tail does not get attached until all the empennage features are installed.

Reading through blueprints and instruction manual to determine next steps once RH wing is finished, such as how to attach the tail boom and all the assemblies that have been previously built.

Started looking at wing construction. Due to the pages being copied so many times over the years, dimensions were closer to black smears than numbers. Spent a bit of time calculating what the numbers should be in order to plan next moves on construction.
